International Travel Tips

Hi again,

Are you thinking about traveling internationally?

If so, here are a few tips to help you plan a successful trip, free of disappointment.

When traveling internationally, you'll want to first begin by making a list of all the important documents
you'll need, namely your passport and any visas.

Your passport will need to be valid for at least six months but some countries require an even longer period of time so be sure to research every country you plan to enter.

This also applies to other important entry documents. You don't want to be denied entry just because you failed to renew or process a document so always carefully research and plan ahead.

If you find that your passport is set to expire, you can request an expedited passport be sent to you by visiting: https://passportappointment.travel.state.gov/

Tip: You should also consider applying for the Global Entry program available at https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry

It is a fast-track through customs which will save you a lot of time but more importantly, you'll be able to skip the paperwork and get to your destination faster and easier.

You'll also want to check for any required vaccinations as certain countries will deny entry without them. You can easily check by visiting the Center for Disease Control here: http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/list/

That's it for today!
